7 Examples Showing How Our Habits Affect Our Appearance

It’s no secret that every little detail of our lives affects us in one way or another. The way we hold ourselves, think of ourselves and take care of ourselves are essential to our appearance. It is important to remember that our everyday habits affect us the most.

We at Bright Side have collected 7 vivid examples of how much our habits affect the way we look.

1. Smoking

Here, you can see 2 twin sisters, however, one has never smoked in her life and the other has been doing so since she was 16. Smoking affects every organ in our body and since our skin is the biggest organ we possess, cigarettes and tobacco provoke skin discoloration and various diseases.

2. Not washing your makeup off

Our skin, like the whole body, should rest, and its renewal and regeneration process happens at night. But our skin can’t tell us that, which is why we receive signals of its tiredness. Acne, inflammation, irritation, allergic rashes or other defects on the skin are a consequence of the fact that our pores are clogged with particles that remain on the surface at night. That’s why removing makeup and exfoliating is necessary since it removes these dead particles.

3. Getting used to drinking alcohol

4. Washing your hair too often

Dermatologists unanimously do not recommend washing your hair frequently. Hair is made of fiber and if you compare it with wool fiber, the same rule works: the more often it is washed, the worse it will look over time.
